Dear All
I have a twinned data with a twin fraction of 0.467549. The resolution of the 
data is 3Å. I have a molecular replacement solution from phaser and assigned 
the free R reflections using thin shells in shelxpro.
Since I have 4 molecules per asu, I thought that refining it with the NCSY 
command in shelxl could circumvent the low resolution as suggested in the 
shelxl manual.
I did a rigid body refinment with BLOC 1,  AFIX 6 and AFIX 0 (after each 
chain). TWIN matrix and BASF using LS and removing the BUMP.
I get the following :
R1 = 0.3850
Rfree = 0.4197 
wR2 = 0.7337
for all data.
When I do restraint refinement (ie coordinates and isotropic B-factors) using 
CGLS, removing the AFIX and BUMP, reducing the SIMU, and DEFS values I get a 
large difference (20) between Rfree and R1 indicating that the data is being 
overfitted. Using the default values for SIMU and DEFS does not help.

Has anybody succeded in refining twinned data to this low resolution with 
shelxl and how can I get it to work in my case considering that I will use NCS?
Thank you all in advance
Veronica
